Can the spouse of the applicant reach out to them via webform too? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 10:26pm On Aug 14 |
IRCC do preliminary rejection early enough for those with very obvious defect in there application but again that your application has crossed 5 months only indicate that it's all good. It doesn't guarantee success as it can be canceled at the final or decison stage. My two refused SOWP happened at the last stage and the first one had no reason ( I just got the notes) so be guided on your expectations. Visa is not a right but a privilege from your host country. Refusal is not the end of life and always have a plan B. Goodluck2294: 1 Like |

I am not sure but there is a rumor that family reunion could only be attended to for applicants who have been separated by at least a year from there spouse. They don't want you to depend on Canada job to pay student spouse school fees. So how long have you been separated from your spouse you are applying to join? Goodluck2294: |

AdoChel: If the spouse does not have any pending application then there is no basis to reach out to them via webform |

Toluvina: Please let the person who is schooling involve the MP representing their riding/location, The MP can reach IRCC on your behalf to know the status of the application. 1 Like |

@jeboy my spouse is more than a year in canada now , going to 2 years now , If that’s the new requirement , I still meet the new requirement, my application is 5 months and some days now |

Your spouse should enlist the help of the Member of Parliament (MP) in charge of the city where he/she resides. Ask the MP to help follow up and check the status of the application. This will have the effect of causing some activities/movement on the file. It works. Although, you can't ask the MP to mount pressure on the IRCC. Cheers. Goodluck2294: |

Hello everyone, I would like ask if there is anyone whose spouse is on PGWP, has applied for SOWP from outside Canada and has gotten approval in recent times? Please, let me also know the processing time. Thank you |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 10:37pm On Aug 15 |
Unemployment rate has increased in Canada recently and the rumors is that a lot of us Foreign Workere don't really have the money but we just use "show fund" to get SOWP and come and add up to Unemployment rate in Canada with the hope of getting a job to pay school fees for our spouses. What could make SOWP which is standard 3 months change suddenly? Just rumors from some immigration consultants I chatted with who are based in Canada when I asked them about the reason for the delay for Foreign Workers approval. Another thing they said agaim is that Miller might be cooking some updates too for Foreign Workers permit policies. AdoChel: 1 Like |

I learnt it from a reliable source that Canada is strictly limiting tje issuance of work permits. Another issue there is that the number of international students in Canada is more than the immigration target numbers, and Canadians don't want to hear any increase in immigration targets. So many students may not get PR. PGWP will no more be automatic. It will be based on the discretion of the IRCC. So, granting of SOWP will defeat their restriction plan Jeboy: 2 Likes |

Congratulations. However, you do not need to abuse people just because you are approved. Those people you are attacking only gave information on what they heard. When Canada started giving out visas to spouses. It was through the informwtion sharing like this that people like you got to know. For that fact that Canada is now being strict with visa does not mean some lucky applications will not be approved. The truth there is that it wont be "yafun yafun" like before. For your information, the restrictions on the issuance of work permit is not a rumour, it is real. Please read the below: Today, the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, convened representatives from Canada’s largest business associations with one clear message: the TFW Program cannot be used to circumvent hiring talented workers in Canada, and the federal government will take further action to weed out misuse and fraud within the system. During today’s meeting, Minister Boissonnault outlined the following actions that are being implemented to reduce the use of temporary foreign workers in Canada: • Enforcing consistent application of the 20 per cent cap policy for temporary foreign workers. This includes the policy for the “dual intent sub-stream”, which applies to temporary foreign workers who intend to apply for permanent residency. Employers using this stream will be subject to more stringent guidelines; • Applying a stricter and more rigorous oversight in high-risk areas when processing Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) and when conducting inspections;  • Considering LMIA fee increases to pay for additional integrity and processing activities; and, • Looking to implement future regulatory changes regarding employer eligibility (factors such as a minimum number of years of business operations or history of lay-offs by the employer). Minister Boissonnault also informed business associations that he is considering implementing refusal to process under the low wage stream. If implemented, this would prevent employers in certain areas and industries from using the TFW Program. Additionally, the Government is working on modernizing the TFW Program with a new foreign labour stream for Agriculture and Fish & Seafood Processing, as announced in Budget 2022. AdoChel: 1 Like |

Don't be discouraged. By their statements we shall know them. People like them are the one spoiling the ground for other people when they enter Canada. They see any idea or information contrary to their desperate expectation as hostility. Newfoundland was the easiest province to get PR. Before, just got any job, you would be nominated for Provincial Nominee. Some desperate students and their spouses came, just because they wanted to beat the system, they abused the integrity of the immigration system. The way Canada immigration is structured is that you transit from work permit to PR. Thats why students are given Postgraduate Work Permit after graduation. What the students did was that they did not have the money they claimed they had.They came to Canada empty handed despite presenting a bogus bank statement to the IRCC, when they arrived Canada, they paid part of the tuition fees, They hurriedly broought their spouses in to work in order to pay the school fees. Once the spouse worked 6 months on the work permit, they hurriedly apply for PR. Since the Newfoundland immigration system was the fastest, they got PR faster. They went back to the school that they are now permabent residents, and such they should convert their tuition to domestic fees including the ones they were owing. Some even applied for PR when still schooling because Canada allowed them to work full time. We warned them but they called us names. Now, Newfoundland has come up with stricter requirements for their PR Jeboy: 2 Likes |

Oops. We don't migrate like Indians and Chinese in terms of numbers but these guys are very modest in their steeze. We must ensure we spoil opportunity for others just to get ahead. God go help us. Kurukuru: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Kurukuru: 2:23pm On Aug 18 |
You are correct. We are not as many as Indians, but Indians are modest in their approach to immigration. They are always careful not to spoil opportunities fir others, but for Nigerians , they do not care. I talked to one Nigerian that what he was doing would spoil opportunity for others. He said "I don't care about others, let me get my own. Once I get my own, if they like, they should close everything" Can you imagine this selfish statement Jeboy: 1 Like |

In as much as I agree we have a leadership problem in Nigeria, we also have a big followership problem. The Leaders you see messing up today were once followers. I hope we will have citizens that thinks beyond there own selfish good. Thanks for your contribution and enlightenment on this digital space. Kurukuru: 2 Likes |
